As described above, electronic cigarette 10 is provided from air intake by electronic cigarette, by pressure sensor 62 and atomizer 30 In heater 310 reach suction nozzle 35 air path.Therefore, when user sucks the suction nozzle of electronic cigarette, processor 50 is based on Information from pressure sensor 62 detects such suction.In response to such detection, CPU is from battery 54 to heater supplies work( Rate, thus heats and evaporates the nicotine from liquid storage device 38 so that user sucks.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, FET 210 is connected between battery 54 and connector 21A.The FET 210 serve as switch.Processor 50 is connected to the grid of FET with Operation switch, thus allows processor according to the air-flow detected State open and close from battery 54 to the power flow of heater 310.It is appreciated that heater current can be relatively large, Such as in the range of 1 ampere to 5 amperes, and therefore FET 210 should be implemented as supporting such current control (equally may be used For replacing the switch of any other form of FET 210).

, can in order to provide the control of thinner (fine-grained) of the quantity of power to flowing to heater 310 from battery 54 To use pulsewidth modulation (PWM) scheme.PWM scheme can the repetition period based on such as 1ms.Within each such cycle, open Close 210 to open in a period of time in cycle, and the remainder in the cycle is closed.This is parameterized by duty cycle, its Middle duty cycle closes (i.e. in fact, permanent close), duty cycle 0.33 for 0 instruction switch in institute's having time in each cycle Indicate to switch in 1/3rd times in each cycle and open, duty cycle is 0.66 instruction switch 2/3rds of each cycle Opened in time, and duty cycle is opened (i.e. in fact, permanent open) for 1 instruction FET in institute's having time in each cycle. Provided it is appreciated that these are only set as the example for duty cycle, and median can be suitably used.

The use of PWM provides effective power for heater, its by nominal available horsepower (based on cell output voltage and Heater resistance) it is multiplied by duty cycle and provides.Processor 50 for example can when air-breathing starts using 1 duty cycle (that is, Quan Gong Rate) heater 310 is initially increased to its desired operation temperature as quickly as possible.Once reach the desired operation temperature Degree, then duty cycle can be reduced to some suitable value by processor 50, to supply desired operating work for heater 310 Rate.

As shown in Fig. 2, processor 50 includes the communication interface 55 for wireless communication, particularly supportLow energy (BLE) communicate.

Optionally, heater 310 is used as by antenna of the communication interface 55 for sending and receiving wireless communication.It is right This motivation is that control unit 20 can have metal shell 202, and atomizer portion 30 can have plastic casing 302 (instead It is the disposable fact to have reflected atomizer 30, and control unit 20 is retained and therefore can be benefited in terms of more longlasting).Gold Belong to housing and serve as the shielding that can influence the antenna operation in control unit 20 itself or barrier.However, utilize heater 310 can aid in as the antenna for wireless communication and avoid this metal screen caused by the plastic casing of atomizer Cover, but additional component will not be increased or complexity (or cost) arrives atomizer.Alternatively, single antenna can be provided (not shown), or a part for metal shell can be used.

If heater is used as antenna, as shown in Fig. 2, processor 50, more specifically communication interface 55 can pass through Capacitor 220 is coupled to the power line from battery 54 to heater 310 (via connector 31B).The capacitive coupling occurs opening 210 downstream is closed, because wireless communication can operate (as discussed in greater detail below) when heater is not heated power supply.Will Understand, capacitor 220 helps to prevent from being transferred back to processor 50 from battery 54 to the power supply of heater 310.

Note that capacitive coupling can be implemented using more complicated LC (Inductor-Capacitor) networks, which can be with Impedance matching with the output of communication interface 55 is provided.(as known to those skilled, which can help to prop up The appropriate transmission of the signal between communication interface 55 and the heater 310 for serving as antenna is held, rather than allows such signal along even Connect and reflect back).

In some embodiments, processor 50 and communication interface are used from the moral business Dai Lege positioned at Britain's thunder fourth half The Dai Lege of conductor PLC (Dialog Semiconductor PLC, based in Reading, United Kingdom) DA14580 chips are implemented.For the further information (and tables of data) of the chip, please access：http://www.dialog- semiconductor.com/products/bluetooth-smart/smartbond-da14580。

The interface specifically include for perform signal modulation and demodulation etc. radio transceiver 520, link layer hardware 512 and it is advanced plus Close facility (128) 511.Output from radio transceiver 520 be connected to antenna (for example, to via capacitive coupling 220 with And connector 21A and connector 31B serve as the heater 310 of antenna).

The remainder of processor 50 includes general procedure core 530, RAM 531, ROM 532, one-off programming (OTP) Unit 533, general purpose I/O systems 560 (being used to communicate with the miscellaneous part on PCB 28), power management block 540 and use In the bridge 570 for connecting two buses.The software instruction being stored in ROM 532 and/or OTP unit 533 can be loaded into RAM In 531 (and/or into the memory for the part for being provided as core 530), so that one or more processing in core 530 are single Member performs.These software instructions make processor implement various functionality described herein, such as with 61 interface of sensor unit and phase Should ground control heater.Note that also functioned as although the equipment shown in Fig. 3 had both served as communication interface 55 for the offer of electronics steam The general purpose controller of system 10, but in other embodiments, both functions can be in two or more distinct device (cores Piece) between separate-for example, a chip may be used as communication interface 55, and another chip may be used as being used for electronics steam The general purpose controller of offer system 10.

In some embodiments, processor 50 can be configured to when heater be used to evaporate liquid from reservoir 38 When prevent wireless communication.For example, when switch 210 is opened, wireless communication can be suspended, terminate or be prevented to start. On the contrary, if wireless communication is carrying out, the activation of heater-for example, by without considering from sensor list can be prevented The detection of the air-flow of member 61, and/or by the way that Operation switch 210 does not open heater 310 when wireless communication is carrying out Power supply.

Heater 310 is prevented in some embodiments while operation is used to heat a reason with both wireless communications It is the potential interference for helping prevent the PWM controls from heater.PWM controls have the frequency of its own (based on pulse Repetition rate), although it is usually more much lower than the frequency for wireless communication, and the two frequencies may be potentially mutually dry Disturb.In some cases, such interference may not actually cause any problem, and can be allowed for heating and wireless Operated (if desired) while heater 310 of both communication.For example, this can by such as signal strength and/or The technologies such as the appropriate offer for selecting, suitably filtering of PWM frequency promote.

Therefore, more generally, in embodiment of the disclosure, the suitable remote equipment of such as smart mobile phone 400 will wrap Include the CPU and memory for storing and running application program, and the operable channel radio to activate and keep with electronic cigarette The wireless communication facility of letter.It should be appreciated, however, that remote equipment can be the equipment with these abilities, such as tablet computer, Laptop computer, smart television etc..

Referring now to Figure 8, in embodiment of the disclosure, the first system includes electronic cigarette 10 and wireless beacon 1000.

In the first system, wireless beacon is as the tactful beacon operation of wireless atomization.As this paper is explained later on, beacon It can be used to refer to ask specific atomization strategy in mechanism by the owner of mechanism, such as restaurant.

Referring now also to Fig. 9, the wireless tactful beacon of atomization includes being suitable for sending and includes unique identifier and (be generally stored inside In memory 1006) beacon signal radio transmitter 1002 (being typically connected to suitable antenna 1004).Note that beacon is believed Number further include the public identifier that instruction beacon is used for the transmission of atomization strategy.

Public identifier can separate with unique identifier or can be one part (i.e. its subsequence).Public identifier Symbol is the sequence for the one or more values agreed to by convention, such as it can be according to being support according to principles described in this document Operation system and the operation standard established defines, including the beacon of the sequence with instruction, to be used to sending atomization tactful Purpose, and electronic cigarette is therefore again may be by handle.

Therefore, the beacon for sending atomization strategy can be conventional radio transmitter beacon, but by beacon Signal includes public identifier, it becomes the tactful beacon of wireless atomization.

As a specific example, the radio transmitter 1002 of beacon 1000 can beEquipment, and unique identifier Can be as the unique user identifiers (UUID) transmitted by the bluetooth equipment operated under advertisement mode.That is, beacon 1000 can include bluetooth equipment (Bluetooth beacon).It should be understood that term as used herein "Equipment " can be contained Cover it is any includingLow energyStandard.

In advertisement mode,Equipment serves as beacon, usually sent in the form of UUID its MAC Address and effectively Load.

UUID is typically that unique hexadecimal sequence (although can use any data convention) is loaded into depositing for beacon In reservoir.However, in embodiment of the disclosure, a part for the sequence is arranged to include indicating that the beacon is clearly nothing The public identifier of the tactful beacon of line atomization.

Therefore non-limiting example is used as, the UUID for beacon can be：

fb0b57a2-8228-44cd-913a-94a122ba1201

Wherein all tactful beacons of wireless atomization are arranged to include the sub- sequence of (as non-limiting example) public identifier Row：

ba120

It should be understood that beacon is not limited toBut it can use and be capable of any suitable wireless of broadcast identifier Technology, such asIn this case, service set identifier (SSID) is can be modified by the user to include add-word Accord with the broadcast identifier of sequence, public identifier subsequence such as above.

It should be evident, however, that the agreement used in beacon should be compatible with the receiving ability of electronic cigarette, or in electronic cigarette city There are the place of several main receiving abilities, beacon in can use various protocols to improve compatibility.Therefore, in electronics Cigarette usesIn the case that low energy is communicated, then use is met standard by beacon.

In embodiment of the disclosure, beacon signal is further included as the system of one indicated in multiple predefined strategies The pol-icy code of the one or more values of row.The pol-icy code generally also can be the subsequence of unique identifier.In above-mentioned non-limit In property example processed, last digital " 1 " after instruction sub-sequence " ba120 " can be the strategy code, although this Numeral neighbouring by this way need not indicate sub-sequence.It is the situation of the independent sequence of unique identifier in public identifier Under, the usual pol-icy code will be associated with public identifier.

The strategy code can indicate one in multiple predetermined policies that electronic cigarette can use.

These strategies can be included on electronic cigarette first sets warning lamp, to remind user true, i.e., equipped with beacon The owner of mechanism asks customer to adjust their uses to electronic cigarette in mechanism.

Secondly, the heat levels provided by electronic cigarette are reduced, to reduce the vapor volume produced in mechanism.

3rd, the heating operation that limitation electronics steam provides system (such as stops ongoing heater operation or anti- Only new heater operation), so as to prevent in-house evaporation.

4th, the heating operation that electronics steam is provided to system is limited in predetermined time period.

In the fourth case, the period can be it is opposite and can be it is set in advance, it is such as next And a half hours, or can be specified by individually one or more values.Alternatively, the period can be absolute, such as ' under Before 9 points of noon ', and absolute time can be set in advance or be specified by single one or more values again.In order to Implement the optional strategy, electronic cigarette should optionally include clock or timer.

After unique identifier is detected, when preventing that atomization or only actually reduction atomization level or warning are atomized one section Between ability may be useful in large corporation, wherein beacon can be provided in the entrance of mechanism, but user can be with The scope of beacon is removed afterwards but still in mechanism.The example of such mechanism be underground transportation system, stadiums, factory, Department store etc..Equally, mechanism can have different strategies in the different time, for example, only requiring 9 points in the afternoon of user It is not atomized before watershed.

Beacon can be incorporated into plug in itself, so as to draw power from main power source, or can be battery powered, from And allow more positional flexibilities.Using bluetooth low energy, battery supply beacon can usually continue 1 year to 3 years.In this public affairs In the embodiment opened, battery powered beacon is incorporated into mark 1100, so as to provide a user the acquiescence atomization of the mechanism The visual notice of strategy.It is of course also possible to such mark is provided with main power source beacon.

Referring back to Fig. 2, in embodiment of the disclosure, electronic cigarette includes wireless receiver, such asLow energy Receiver 55, it receives beacon signal from the wireless beacon including unique identifier, and public identifier instruction beacon is used for It is atomized the transmission of strategy.Then, processor 50 is adapted to (such as passing through suitable software instruction) public in being detected in beacon signal Identifier is (such as by detecting the public identifier subsequence in unique identifier, in such as examples presented above altogether ‘ba120’).In response to detecting the public identifier, processor is also adapted to the operation of modification electronic cigarette.

In most basic system, the detection of general identifier triggers the acquiescence modification of the operation to electronic cigarette, such as exists Emergency warning lamp is set on electronic cigarette to remind user to be atomized the presence of tactful beacon.For example, under default situations, the LED on electronic cigarette Feux rouges may be flickered.Alternatively, under default situations, electronic cigarette can no longer encourage heating element by responding the suction of user To prevent from being atomized.Optionally, user can be with the default response of overlay electronic cigarette, such as by pressing the button on electronic cigarette with extensive Multiple normal functionality.

Alternatively or additionally, in the case where beacon signal further includes pol-icy code, electronic cigarette processor can be adapted to In the strategy for detecting the instruction and implement the strategy indicated, such as one in previously herein listed strategy.

Referring again to Fig. 8, in embodiment of the disclosure, second system includes electronic cigarette 10, wireless beacon 1000 and moves Dynamic communication equipment 400.

In the first scenario, mobile communication equipment (such as smart mobile phone) functions only as intermediary, from wireless atomization strategy letter Tag splice receives beacon signal and transfers it to electronic cigarette via the link pre-established of its own.This, which may have, extends electronics The advantages of effective range of the battery life of cigarette and/or beacon, because smart mobile phone can be optionally with the increasing higher than electronic cigarette Benefit detectionSignal.Electronic cigarette may or may not the parallel beacon of independent detection.

In the latter case, mobile communication equipment (for example, under suitable software instruction from application program) is real Many features of the foregoing and detection of beacon and the relevant electronic cigarette of analytic signal have been applied, and therefore to the electronics Cigarette, which is sent, suitably orders with implementation strategy.Therefore, in this case, the reception and parsing and the choosing of strategy of beacon signal Select by mobile communication equipment rather than electronic cigarette to implement, and suitable policy commands are first by the processing of mobile communication equipment Device is sent, rather than is sent by electronic cigarette.

Therefore wireless receiver 440 is included referring back to Fig. 7, mobile communication equipment, it is suitable for receiving from wireless beacon Beacon signal, beacon signal includes unique identifier and indicates that beacon is used for the public identifier for being atomized the transmission of strategy, mobile Communication equipment further includes the processing for the public identifier being suitable in (such as by suitable software instruction) detected beacon signals Device (CPU 410)；And processor is adapted to respond to change communication equipment in such detection similarly by software instruction Operation.

The modification can include：

I. alert message is shown on the screen 418 of mobile communication equipment；

Ii. mobile communication equipment is made to vibrate or make a sound；

Iii. via foundation link (for example, pairingLow energy link) confirm wirelessly to electronic cigarette transmission The message of the authenticity of the tactful beacon of atomization；

Iv. order is sent via the chain road direction electronic cigarette of foundation to set warning instruction in electronics steam offer system Device, such as lamp；

V. order is sent via the chain road direction electronic cigarette of foundation to reduce the heating for being provided system by electronics steam and being provided It is horizontal；

Vi. order is sent via the chain road direction electronic cigarette of foundation to limit the heating operation that electronics steam provides system；With And

Vii. send order via the chain road direction electronic cigarette of foundation and reached with limiting the heating operation of electronics steam offer system Predetermined time period.

The presetting message selected in pol-icy code can be in response to by changing the alert message in i. above, such as require to use Family not inhale mist, or notify them the mechanism has the smoking/suction fog-zone specified.

One or more of these modifications can form the default policy formulated by mobile communication equipment, or can ring It should be chosen in the pol-icy code in beacon signal as described above.

It should be understood that electronic cigarette and the mobile communication equipment of pairing can be from beacon reception beacon signals.If electronics Cigarette implements default policy in response to detecting public identifier in beacon signal, or cannot implement specific policy, then appoints Selection of land, mobile communication equipment can be with overlay electronic cigarettes to implement the specific instruction strategy from beacon (if for example, electronic cigarette Do not include clock or timer, then mobile communication equipment can be in reasonable time in response to specified opposite or absolute time plan Omit code and send appropriate order).Meanwhile if electronic cigarette can parse and implement the specific instruction plan obtained from beacon Slightly, then mobile communication equipment may not overlay electronic cigarette.Application program on mobile communication equipment can be in initial registration mistake The ability of electronic cigarette is determined during journey.

Therefore, by using the first system and/or second system described above, the owner of mechanism can carefully to The preferred atomization strategy of the user reminding of the electronic cigarette mechanism.

However, beacon signal is obtained from the tactful beacon of wireless atomization and by it at another position in unauthorized party Another equipment resend so as to electronic cigarette user send atomization strategy in the case of it is possible that supplementary question.For example, Unscrupulous third party may develop a application program, make anyone can be by replicating the letter acquired in (deception) Signal is marked to use their smart mobile phone to broadcast " no smoking " tactful beacon.

In order to help to alleviate the problem, referring again to Fig. 8, in embodiment of the disclosure, the 3rd system includes electronic cigarette 10th, wireless beacon 1000, mobile communication equipment 400 and beacon certificate server 1300.

In the 3rd system, mobile communication equipment (for example, under instruction of application program) is attempted by offer and nothing The related independent certification factor (authentication data) of line atomization strategy comes certification beacon certificate server and the tactful beacon of wireless atomization. As will be discussed in more detail, the single certification factor can be obtained when receiving the beacon signal from wireless beacon Gps coordinate, the safety certificate of mobile communication equipment is sent to from wireless beacon, or puted up from such as mechanism The supplement mark data extracted in the printed code of QR codes on mark.

Therefore, in the 3rd system, mobile communication equipment processor is suitable for obtaining to be had with the tactful beacon of wireless atomization The certification factor of pass, and including suitable for by unique identifier and the certification factor be sent to remote server transmitter (for example, 3G's or 4G etc.Or mobile data).Then the receiver of mobile communication equipment is repaiied in processor response in instruction data Received before changing the operation of mobile communication equipment from remote server and indicate that whether believable the tactful beacon of wireless atomization is indicative Data.

Therefore, the 3rd system with second system similar mode operate, except implement electronic cigarette on strategy or Before issuing the user with any warning, the application program for being adapted to mobile communication equipment waits the certification of beacon.

Turning now to Figure 10, beacon certificate server 1300 includes being suitable for from remote mobile communication equipment 400 (via such as The network of internet 1200) receive the receiver of the unique identifier obtained from the beacon signal of the tactful beacon 1000 of wireless atomization 1310 (such as withPort) and the certification factor.The server further includes processor 1320, it is for example by suitable soft Part instruction is adapted to, with based on the associated certification of unique identifier in the database 1335 with being stored in memory 1330 Data assess the certification factor.In response to the assessment to the certification factor, server then for example can via its withEnd Mouth sends the whether believable indicative data of the wireless atomization strategy beacon of instruction to remote mobile communication equipment.

Indicative data may be a mark, this is probably widely to be counted between mobile communication equipment and server According to a part for exchange.Alternatively or additionally, indicative data can include atomization policy information, such as from can move The message of the owner of the mechanism shown in dynamic communication device display 418.

As described above, the certification factor can take several forms in one.In one case, in mobile communication equipment Obtained with GPS abilities and in response to detecting the public identifier in the beacon signal from the tactful beacon of wireless atomization In the case of gps coordinate, the certification factor includes the gps coordinate uploaded from mobile communication equipment.In this case, beacon certification The processor of server is suitable for whether the gps coordinate that assessment uploads is noted in associated with the unique identifier in database The within the threshold range of one group of gps coordinate of volume.

In this way, the owner of enterprise can be to their tactful beacon of wireless atomization of server registration, and in the waiting period Between, they can provide the reference set of the corresponding gps coordinate in the position established with it, and it is unique more specifically to provide its The position of the identifier beacon associated with the reference gps coordinate in the database of server.The process, which can be used in, has GPS The registrer application that is run on the mobile communication equipment of function performs.

Then, if third party attempts to replicate the unique identifier of the beacon in diverse location, uploaded by smart mobile phone Gps coordinate be different from the those amounts registered in the database, be more than predetermined threshold (for example, during registration when sets than those amounts Fixed threshold radius/distance).As a result, server, which will be sent, indicates the incredible indicative data of third party's beacon.

In a similar way, in one case, the certification factor is sent and is signed using its private key by trust authority Trusted certificates transmitted by beacon.In this case, the processor of beacon certificate server is suitable for recognizing by using correlation The public key of card mechanism assesses certificate (verification) to decrypt certificate.The certificate of decryption can include such as wireless atomization strategy The confirmation message of the unique identifier of beacon, and can also include associated with the unique identifier in the database of server The additional identification identifier that ground preserves.If the content that certificate cannot be correctly decrypted or decrypt does not correspond to unique mark Accord with and/or verify identifier, then server will transmit and indicate the incredible indicative data of third party's beacon.

In this way, the owner of enterprise can to their tactful beacon of wireless atomization of server registration, and server or Associated trusted certificate authority can send the pre-loaded certificate on certificate or unlock transmission beacon to beacon.

Again in a similar way, in one case, the certification factor is the supplement mark number extracted from printed code According to the QR codes in visible mark 1100 such as puted up in mechanism.As described above, such mark can essentially be incorporated to wirelessly The tactful beacon of atomization, or can be shown as approaching with beacon physical.Code (such as bar code, the alphanumeric generation of the printing Code, QR code or similar code) cameras capture of mobile communication equipment can be used and resolved identify number extract to supplement According to.Again, beacon certificate server can be assessed and (compared) and confirm the beacon unique identifier uploaded by mobile communication equipment Whether correspond to the value being stored in database 1335 with supplement mark data.If they are not corresponded to, server will be sent Indicate the incredible indicative data of third party's beacon.

In this way, the owner of enterprise can be to their tactful beacon of wireless atomization of server registration, and by from printing The supplement mark data extracted in code is uploaded in its associated notification flag.Then, third party will need to provide height The mark copy of fidelity, and persuade user to shoot its photo, so as to which these users are implemented with atomization strategy.However, the party Method is also required to user and plays an active part in, with by capturing the image of printing machine code and printing machine code come the legal wireless communication of certification Mark, thus it is more cumbersome than the use of gps coordinate as described above or trusted certificates.

Finally, for any one in the above-mentioned certification factor, server can optionally be arranged to detect it is specific only Whether one identifier is verified more than expected threshold number, this can indicate that beacon signal has been cloned, and beacon possesses Person should obtain new unique identifier, wherein current unique identifier is deleted.Certainly, for some high power capacity and sporadicly The place (such as stadiums) used, this secondary inspection may be disabled.

Regardless of the used certification factor, if server sends the instruction incredible indicative number of third party's beacon According to then in response, if beacon signal is only relayed to electronic cigarette by mobile communication equipment, or if it is parsing letter Mark signal simultaneously implements electronic cigarette implementation strategy, then mobile communication equipment can ignore the beacon.Alternatively or additionally, it can With the link established using it and optionally prearranged authenticated to any between electronic cigarette and mobile communication equipment Electronic cigarette is arrived in journey sending strategy override (override, covers, and overriding, ignores) order so that electronic cigarette is no longer respond to it Itself detect the public identifier in beacon signal and implement any strategy.

In this way, the mobile phone (such as being operated under the instruction of application program) of user can prevent third party without permission Ground is sent to electronic cigarette by strategy is atomized.

Alternatively, mobile communication equipment may not obtain the certification factor, and unique identifier is being sent to server Shi Keneng does not include such certification factor.In this case, server receives unique identifier and returns to instruction by user The indicative data of the authenticity of the beacon signal of manual authentication.Therefore, indicative data may, for example, be what beacon was registered The title of mechanism, it can be shown by the application program on the screen 418 of mobile communication equipment.User may then based on them It is actual wherein to determine whether detected beacon is legal.Optionally, then user can confirm that or ignore atomization strategy, such as By clicking on accept button or the refusal button that application program is provided on the screen.If user receives the strategy, if It is applicable in, mobile communication equipment either sends it to electronic cigarette or allows electronic cigarette to continue to execute the strategy, and if user Refuse the strategy, then mobile communication equipment will not communicate with electronic cigarette, or be applicable in electronic cigarette sending strategy covering instruction When stop implement the strategy.

Turning now to Figure 11, at mobile communication equipment certification be wirelessly atomized strategy letter calibration method and include：
